I find it very strange that I have earned over 750 care packages and never received one with DOGS. I am also running Engineer and have switched most care packages I have never earned Dogs. I did receive 1 SWARM but that was it. I was playing with a friend the other day and he received 2 DOGS ( on separate games ) but in the same day and hasn't even earned half the care packages I have.

1 - does any one know what the probability is for receiving DOGS? Better yet does anyone have a list of all the Probabilities for care packages? I remember there was one for BO1 but I haven't seen one for BO2

2 - do you guys think because I am running Engineer it might be affecting my chances of getting DOGS? Or maybe better care packages? Maybe by running Engineer the system punishes my odds some how?

Don't assume that people that run cp, can't get high kill streaks. I play hard core and can get swarms very easy. I get at least 4 to 5 cp a game. The thing is i don't get more than 7 kills with my swarms. I get maybe 4 or 5 dog kill's. To me there's no point in running high kill streaks on bo2. Out of 5 cp, I might get 2 good things. That seems really fair to me.

I play KC a swarm won't get you another swarm not even close. Out of all my cp I've gotten 3 swarms and two dog's. The higher streaks i get are escort drone and vsat. Which are easy to get. I run uav cuav and cp with hardline. So i have a uav,cuav up majority of all lobby's. I take a gambe on cp, also I've called in 3,177 cp like i said only 3 swarms 2 dogs.

10 kills in swarm is 150 points ! And you might Retrive all of em ! SWARM usually kill the Player who is a Run and gunner. I killed by my own SWARM most of the times. Since I have close combat Starting to end. Lucky you get 10 kills in average.

But what's the point in earning a swarm off another one when by that time there's no one left to get hit? I mean, I'm not arguing against you or anything, but, what harm is done in a swarm that just uselessly blankets the sky?

I've used 400 some odd CP's and no dogs or swarms. 1 Vtol, 1 lodestar, and a few escorts and vstats. Those are the only high end CP rewards I've received. I like to run CP in FFA with a black hat. Put it on a roof or something like that. Use it as bait for a kill or 2 then swipe it up from a distance. I'm happy with a UAV out of it since it's bait anyways. If I want high end killstreaks, I'll play objective based games with high ones set. The care package ratios are very fair IMHO.

I don't think engineer hinders your chances at something good.Although i do believe that using a care package fresh after your respawn is less reliable for something good than using it during an active kill streak, Its my conspiracy im sticking with it

Ive gotten dogs and orbital vsat in care packages tonight.It is useless trying to run high scorestreaks because you never know what kind of bs your going to run into.Ever since i changed a class to engineer my care packages have been great, without engineer all the packages were uavs and crap so i have noticed a big difference running engineer.Im sure luck plays a role too

your not missing out i got 2 swarms in one game and got a total of 4 kills with them both. dogs are pretty bad too i have only had them a few times but im pretty sure i get more kills with a lightning strike or two

I've dropped 702 I got dogs once and got team killed for it lol to bad I was host and killed him till he quit. I have more kills with a care package throwing them in hc or landing on people then I do with dogs or a swarm I've gotten one of each and dogs got me 3 kills so I took it off swarm got me 2 , Lower steaks do much better for me kill wise. I'd rather run uav vsat ep or cuav. But I'm stuck on the stupid guadian calling card where its not counting half the time. So I am running the skill package and guadian now and getting them pretty often in the care package.

I called in 482 care packages before I figured out that I can actually earn the higher streaks now, and stopped using them. Zero swarms (although I have seen an enemy get a Swarm from a CP twice), but I did get the K9 unit once...10 seconds before the end of the match. :facepalm:

As far as I know each scorestreak has a set percentage chance of coming up whenever the CP is rolled: either when it first drops, or when you re-roll it with Engineer. Engineer does not affect those percentages either way, although it does give you a second (miniscule) chance at getting one of the high streaks you're after.

I think there is also a reltionship between what killstreaks you have recently earned and which ones will appear in your care packages. I'm trying to earn all the titlecards for the scorestreaks, so I've gone through them one at a time, and I've pretty much always run Care Package/Whatever scorestreak I'm working on/Whatever #2. When I ran CP/Orbital VSAT/Escort Drone (and for a while after when I ran CP/VSAT/EMP), for example, about 40% of my pacakges were either VSATs or Escort Drones (About half dropped as is, half I changed from lower streaks). I was still getting Stealth Choppers frequently from when I was working on those, and it got to the point where I actually expected to get one of the three almost every time I dropped a package. I switched from CP to Hunter Killer once I had about 1500 CP drops and have been running it since I started Warthog work, so I can't comment on if these affects apply to the higher streaks.

6 Dogs (4-7. I DEFINITELY got the last 3 AFTER I had EARNED my first two days before)

8 VTOLs (Dunno how many, but more than dogs and less than 12)

3 Lodestars

I'm finishing up EMP and Dogs right now and earned a couple K9s yesterday... maybe I'll run Care Package today and see if I earn dogs randomly.

Another fun fact: I was running CP from day one and on days 1-3 I terrorized the COD community (I must've been the only one who was rushing with a PDW every match from the begining lol) and earned a good 100 or so pacakges. On the first day ALL were Gaurdian or lower. By the 2nd day Sentry Gun- Stealth Chopper started popping up. On the third day I got 1 swarm and the rest were shitty. Since then, I've NEVER received a scorestreak via care package that I'd never earned.

I used Care package Just to get the Fourth Streak on the line up. VSAT, Counter UAV, Hunter Killer, Escort Drone are the ones I always get. I never wanted to gain K9 or Swarm in CP. Its unfair and you guys know that. I stopped using CP Coz it is such a Waste of time waiting, that I would gain around 400 points in that time. I have got Swarm 1 time and it made 19 kills which lead our team towards Victory. Any Streak you get other than RC-XD is great.

No it's stupid, I can't tell you how many times I've lost because the other teams noobs got a VSAT in a care package it's even more annoying when they get swarms and dogs

I lost a game of KC today to the other team getting a lodestar, a stealth chopper, and v-stat. They all came at the end with the score 81-55 in our favor. It was at the slums, and we got lit up and lost the lead and the game 100-98 in a 2 minute span. I only know they were care packages because I went back to theatre to find out what the @#$@ happened. KC is a game of streaks and those packages turned into more streaks. Another V-stat was called in along with a another Stealth Chopper. The match went from being well in hand to spawn dying until it was over. But this is very rare and the only time I can remember carepackages doing this in 172 hours of KC.

Played a game of HCTDM tonight and got two care packages. The first had a K9 Unit in it, and the second a Stealth Chopper. I guess it was just a bit of good luck on my part, or a blessing from the care package gods

One of the last matches I played in some kid got a couple kills and tags. He managed to call in a CP and got a SWARM. He finshed that match with only 6 kills I remember. 4 kills were with his gun, 2 from the SWARM because we all hid inside

What's weird is that the game seemed to feel bad about giving him a SWARM because one of my teammates called one in and got a VSAT. This person almost never calls in a CP so I thought that was strange

I've noticed over the course of the last couple weeks that some really bad players (players who are at the bottom of the lobby) get lucky CPs. I wonder if that fact is taken into consideration when the CP is called in

well, considering I got into the game late, my teammates were killing each other, and even managed to use my betties to kill themselves (and then proceeded to attempt to get killed by both my care packages), I managed to get to the top of the team's scoreboard before I called in my first care package

I was actually thinking that it took into account which scorestreaks a player has equiped. I always run with the UAV as my first streak, and I rarely ever get a UAV in my Care Packages. I recently equiped the Sentry Gun, and since then I haven't gotten a single one in my care packages. I don't know, it might just be my imagination LOL
